Standby-Battery Calculation Worksheet
Use the procedure given below to determine the required standby battery capacity in Ampere-Hours (AH). Note: It is not totally accurate to
merely multiply the combined standby current (in amperes) by the standby time (in hours) to obtain the battery capacity (in ampere-hours),
since other factors (Go-Anywhere Hub charging capabilities, temperature, battery condition, etc.) affect battery operation. The following calcu-
lations will yield the theoretical minimum required capacity:

ISEC-KIT1 Battery Standby Hours*
• 12V,4AH battery: No network connection, ~27
hours, with network connection, ~26 hours.
• 12V,5AH battery: No network connection, ~34
hours, with network connection ~32 hours.
ISEC-KIT2 Battery Standby Hours*
• 12V,4AH battery: No network connection, ~25
hours, with network connection ~24 hours.
• 12V,5AH battery: No network connection, ~32
hours, with network connection ~30 hours.
ISEC-KIT3 Battery Standby Hours*
• 12V,4AH battery: No network connection, ~19.5
hours, with network connection ~19 hours.
• 12V,5AH battery: No network connection, ~24
hours, with network connection ~23 hours.
With 4AH battery, a system without Wi-Fi, Z-Wave or
transceiver without a network connection will last about
27.5 hours. With 5AH battery, the same system will last
about 34 hours. Note: Battery not supplied.
*Actual standby time will vary with Kit, system components and network use. For components included in each kit and other details, see Ordering Information on page 73.
